The PTO Bake Sale
What is the PTO Bake sale?
Where does SummerZcool’s Parent Teacher Organizationraise funds to support your school, and some great charities? Why the PTO Bake Sale of course!
This is the place where “muffins” are baked, “cakes” are frosted, “cookie” are decorated, “pastries” are flaky, a “snack” for everyone and, funds are raised for our favorite charities!
The PTO Bake Sale is based solely on donations made by generous students and parents like you, and we appreciate each and every donation! How do we say thank you? Prizes of course!!
We will be tracking everything donated throughout the year. For every $20 donated, you will receive one chance for an exclusive, high value “Muffin Basket”. This will be an accumulative calculation throughout the year. For example: if one person sends eight $5 items and someone sends one $40 item, both people will receive 2 (two) tickets for the exclusive on-site prize drawing.
How can you donate a “cookie platter”?
The easiest way to donate – Amazon of course! Send something from our wish list and have it shipped directly to us! Items off the wish list should have an option to ship directly to Beth. Please be sure to include a gift receipt, so you can get credit for the donation!
You can also purchase items from any of your other favorite shopping sites (Etsy, Zulily, Target, Walmart, Bass Pro, Margaritaville… etc.) too! If you choose to donate from sites other than Amazon, please send an email to Beth at charities@nerphc.org or through Facebook (www.facebook.com/beth.berube.5) to obtain the address and let us know what is being sent.
Old School Shopping – When you are out shopping, and see something perfect, grab it! Contact Beth to make arrangements for either pickup, if possible, or to bring to convention. Please do not bring loose items to our bake sale unless prior arrangements have been made. Loose items, without prior arrangements, will be accepted, stored, and saved for a future convention.

Club Baskets
We all know the difficulties of collecting for the club baskets right before convention. This year we would like to give each club the option of either donating a traditional club basket or donation of five (5), or more baskets for the PTO Bake Sale. This is completely at the discretion of your club as to which you would prefer. The idea behind this, is rather than your club spending lots of time and money right before convention, you could spread out those resources throughout the year, making it easier for everyone.
Traditional Club Basket
If you choose a traditional club basket, please send the following information to Beth (at charities@nerphc.org) no later than April 1st.
- How much space your club will need? Length and depth.
- Will you need a table?
- Will you need electricity?
- Basket value when you drop off your basket.
- Club baskets need to be completely assembled by 11:00am on Friday.
- All items must be in the basket at that time.
- No additions items to club baskets will be allowed after 11:00am on Friday.
Multiple Smaller Baskets
If you choose to send 5+ baskets, please follow the below guidelines for multiple baskets. All contents and total value must be listed on each basket.
- Each basket should have a value of no less than $50.
- Please let Beth (at charities@nephc.org) know how many baskets and size (length and width) of you baskets PRIOR to April 1st.
- Please supply Beth with a total value when your baskets are delivered.
- Baskets MUST be dropped off at the PTO Bake Sale by 11:00am, Friday of Convention
- Baskets need to be fully assembled, prior to drop off.
